Please read the section on "Tuplets" in the manual for your version of LilyPond.
(My guess is that you use version 2.8 where the name of the function was
somewhat different).

Hi everyone.

For those of you that don't know, ratio-notation specifies both the number of beats in a tuplet and the number of beats that would normally be played without a tuplet. For instance a tuplet of 5 sixteenth notes would be notated not as the normal "5", but "5:4", signaling that there are 5 sixteenths in the place of (":") 4 sixteenths.

I was told on the lilypond-devel mailing list that the following line would provide ratio-notation for tuplets:

\override TupletNumber #'text = #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text

This does not seem to work. How can I accomplish this?
